Dec. 29, 1995--Independence Bowl, Shreveport, Louisiana
Dinardo Beats Saban..
LSU plays in their first bowl game in 6 years. After 6 consecutive seasons, new Coach, Gerry Dinardo, brings the magic back to Baton Rouge temporarily. His Tigers defeat Michigan State, 45-26. The Spartans are coached that day by future LSU coach, Nick Saban. LSU has a kickoff return and long run by Kevin Faulk for scores as well as a fumble return by Gabe Northern. LSU goes to two more bowl ('96 Peach and '97 Indenpendence) before sliding back to their losing ways in 1998 and 1999. Saban comes to Baton Rouge in time for the 2000 season to set the Tigers in place to win the BCS National Championship in 2003.
